You probably have a valid complaint under the Fair Housing Act. Go to http://www.lawhelp.org/ and select your state. From there you can get information about your state's fair housing laws and referrals to pro bono housing lawyers.

NOPE LL does NOT need to renew your rent, and does NOT need to provide any motive for refusing to resume. It is LL's estate and he has correct to manage who lives there. Being disabled offers you NO certain correct to have a rent renewal. Your rights are the identical as any one else's. A LL can make a decision now not to resume a tenant's rent for any motive or no motive in any respect, so long as it's not on a legally prohibited foundation. Doesn't sound adore it right here. So propose, you check out speakme with LL and seeing if you'll be able to paintings some thing out, however cross as petitioner, now not as anybody with Legal Rights making Demands. Tell LL that you weren't being intentionally obstructionist and uncooperative (which he turns out to feel with a few motive), however that there used to be a big miscommunication drawback in your aspect. READ your present rent. Generally a LL need to provide you X days discover earlier than the top of your rent that he's now not renewing it. Has he performed so? You could also be in a position to get a different month of occupancy.

It is too late to do anything but get on the landlord's good side. I suggest a sit down meeting with you, the daughter and the landlord. First, find out why the landlord's daughter has a problem with the teenagers. Get to the bottom of it if you can. Next explain your situation. You like it there and don't want to move out. Then figure out a solution that will make everybody happy.

I suggest you keep an eye on the kid. There is no landlord foolish enough to try and evict a tenant because the teenager wears dark clothing and long hair.
Something else is going on with your kid and the neighbors too. Better find out what they are doing when you aren't looking.....

I would call your state's Attorney General for advice on this issue. As far as I know, she has no legal grounds to do this to you or your neighbor, and if there is nothing in the rental/lease contract covering this issue, she has no legal standing or grounds for her threats.
Ask the Attorney General if this constitutes discrimination also, you might very well have a legal case against her. If he says yes, tell her that the Attorney General advised bringing a harassment and discrimination lawsuit against her. Chances are 99% she'll back off. And once word of this gets around the trailer park, she may very well start losing tenants.
As far as I know, as long as you are paying your rent and are not causing any actual trouble, she has no right to evict you.
I hope this helps.

Give Legal Aid a call. They should be able to help you over the phone. In most states you cannot be evicted for having children.

Tell your son to get a haircut and buy a new wardrobe. This is his first taste of the opportunities that will be denied to him because he wants to look cool for his fellow teenage non-conformists.

If you have about $5,000 and you live in the U.S. you can file suit and HOPE you can prove that her not renewing the lease is based on a protected status.
Otherwise, not offering a new lease is not illegal.

Well you've been living there all this time, it's not like they didn't know the child was going to grow up. Go back to court. Or better yet, file charges for harassment.

They don't want you there. As long as they give you proper notice they can evict you.
